Description
Founded in North San Diego County in 2010 by Daniel & Jon Love, and Kamron Khannakhjavani, what began as a hobby years earlier had formed into a business. Originally operating out of a 2200 sq. ft. industrial space, the business grew quickly thanks to thirsty patrons visiting the industrial, but homely, onsite tasting room and adjacent homebrew store. Brewhouse upgrades soon followed and in 2012, Mother Earth opened a large Tap House in the historic downtown Vista district. The relocation of the tap room allowed the company to expand its production spaces even further and over time additional square footage was added to nearly 28000 sq. ft. in total.
In 2015 the company began development of a new, state-of-the-art 40,000 sq. ft. production facility in Nampa, Idaho. Featuring a 40 bbl multi-vessel brewhouse, and the capacity to produce over 100K bbls/yr, “Mother Earth – Nampa” went on-line in August of 2016 and through continuous upgrades and expansion rapidly became the largest brewery in the state of Idaho. As Mother Earth's second regional headquarters, Nampa supports most of the company's growth and produces beer for all markets outside Southern California. The original Vista brewery continues to provide draft and specialty offerings to its home market of Socal as well as creating unique one-off brews for visitors at its retail operations in North County San Diego. Mother Earth remains family owned and operated and has become a standard of success within the industry.

They moved their full production facility to Idaho years ago, so this should be an Idaho brewery, not California. Fantastic beer, some of the best I’ve had in Boise.

Can from Big Trees Market in Arnold Pours hazy light gold with full white head. Aroma is citrus and tangerine. Flavor is similar and with orange pith. Soft malt in the back half adds nice well rounded aspects to the beer.

Nitro pour at downtown taproom. Clear golden, lazy carbonation, one finger+ creamy, dense head. Fruity aroma, oranges first, fruit salad notes behind. Taste starts with bold orange flavors, which fades into some nice tropical flavors, all carried in on that creamy nitro body. Nice summer beer

Draft at ME downtown. Hazy yellow pour, skin of fine head. Aroma is grapefruit and pine. Taste intensifies, super hoppy, a little bit from everything, citrus, pine, tropical and a hint of dank. Dry finish with lots of bitterness lingering.
